SWIFT: Scalable Workflow Management System using Mobile Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
A workflow defines flow of information and control in a process. Most software solutions for workflow management systems do not model the real world scenario perfectly. Moreover, changes in the workflow result in many modifications to the application. The Mobile Agent paradigm not only provides a richer model for workflow systems that better resembles the real world scenario but can also be used to incorporate changes in the workflow in an elegant manner. We present a prototype of a workflow system developed using mobile agents. The workflow considered is that of a course registration process, used by the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.

Enabling scalable scientific workflow management in the Cloud
Cloud computing is gaining tremendous momentum in both academia and industry. In this context, we define the term “Cloud Workflow” as the specification, execution and provenance tracking of large-scale scientific workflows, as well as the management of data and computing resources to support the execution of large-scale scientific workflows in the Cloud. In this paper, we first analyze the gap ...
متن کاملMulti-objective and Scalable Heuristic Algorithm for Workflow Task Scheduling in Utility Grids
To use services transparently in a distributed environment, the Utility Grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. The parameters of the Quality of Service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the Utility Grids. Optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one an...
